x=276
The answer is not correct. What am I doing wrong? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Peter took a 1,500 mile trip in 5 days. Each day, he drove 30 miles more than the day before. How many miles did he cover on the first day?
x+(x+30)+(x+2*30)+(x+3*30)+(x+4*30) = 1500
Now you can solve it.
